This core studio explored how the act of delineation produces a state of "between-ness" or differentiation, a condition resulting from acts of drawing. Drawing forms a repetitive action whereby the condensation of marks and gestures opens new figurations upon a page or within a screen. But one might also contend that drawing is also a process of extraction that moves or projects the specific characteristics of something into another state. The studio operated in three dimensions (model and construction), which afforded the opportunity for material exploration at every stage of a project's development. These material investigations, which included the existing conditions of the site, provided a kind of resistance and elicited intelligence in the process of developing concepts and forms. The project for the Drawing Center evolved through iterative stages and relied upon the development of techniques of fabrication, both analog and digital. The intellectual grounding of the studio was mined through lectures, discussions, and readings; these group debates allowed each student to craft his/her own position relative to the agenda of the studio. Architecture is by its very nature a site of human exchange and the creation of a social act. Therefore, everything over the course of the semester was contextualized within a social sphere of practices, ideas, and events.
